Prescott-Russell Autism Group

What Prescott-Russell Autism Group does

Prescott-Russell Autism Group, operating under its legal name Regroupement Autisme Prescott-Russell, is a federally/ provincially registered non-profit charitable organization serving individuals with autism and their families in the Prescott-Russell region of Eastern Ontario, with operations anchored in Hawkesbury. Its service portfolio consists of five community-based programs — Creative Saturday, Looking Forward, UPPH/UPPL, Sunday Respite, and "3,2,1 Action!" — delivered in a bilingual (French/English) format, which aligns the organization with the linguistic profile of its catchment.

The organization runs on a volunteer-driven, community-funded model. Revenue is generated through a $20 per year membership fee, donations, a Catch the Ace progressive lottery operated under licence RAF1460560 with $10 tickets, and an annual golf tournament that returned for a second year in July 2025. Strategic partnerships with the Kin Club of Russell, SADJA, Subway Brunet, and listing on Ontario 211 provide referral visibility and co-funding capacity, but no government service contracts, paid clinical staff, or technology platform underpin the model. Distribution and outreach are largely grassroots, with institutional visibility primarily through Ontario 211 and partner channels rather than a proprietary digital infrastructure.
